Hello pals.
Today I was shooting on track at the Champ Car World Series in México City, and suddenly I get the Err 99 message on the top screen.
This was while using the 75-300, Tv mode, i turned off and on again, shot again, same message. I decide to remove the battery for a few seconds, put it back. I shot like 5 more photos and ERR 99 again.
As I was in the warm up, so I decide to run to the media center where my laptop is, and install the new firmware 2.0.3 that I just downloaded yesterday. I succesfully install the new firmware, I download and format both of my CF cards (Sandisk Ultra II 1GB and 512MB), so I can start clean again. Go onto track again, a few minutes after the race. I shoot like 20 shots and there comes again the ERR 99.
onders:
But this time I realize that the ERR 99 was appearing when I was shooting a passing car, making the lens focus rapidly to different spots. I remove the battery again for almost a minute, just to be sure it was reset. Put it again, and used the lens on Manual Focus, instead of AF.
The problem was solved. (apparently)
My EF75-300 is an old lens I have from my 35mm camera. 2 weeks ago when shooting the Panamerican Race, I feel that the AF was having some problems some times getting the focus right. This make me think that the ERR 99 is because my lens, that has something wrong with it.
Later at home I try my EF 28-105 and the EF-S 18-55, shooting different things at different speeds, etc. And the ERR 99, never came back, since i put again the 75-300, there was the err 99 at the second shot, remove the battery, put the lens to M again, and I shoot like 30-50 shots, in different speeds, etc. Never again. Then I put it to AF again, and shoot another 30-50 shots, and the Err99, didn't show again.
Do I have to worry about the camera? onders: Or it's just my old lens.
Regards
